Now the scale of the flooding in Janesville is no where near the scale of what has happened in Iowa, but the images and movies are still pretty compelling:

No, we’re not floating away.  Our home is located up the hill, so unless you see a guy constructing an Ark in the Midwest and gathering animals two-by-two, I don’t think we have a lot to worry about.

Janesville as a town, however, is experiencing what professionals call a Freaking Deluge.  This video was taken at the bridge downtown.  It’s hard to see, but there’s about two feet of free space between the surface of the water and the bridge itself.

As a further clarification, it’s not normally that close.

Today we have some new videos.  All of these were taken during our recent trip down South.

I haven’t posted anything of a political nature at all recently.   Mostly it’s a lack of time and a sense of ennui that prevented me from doing so.

But last night the nominating process for the Democrats finally wrapped up with Obama surpassing the (new) magic number of delegates needed. 

Of course, Hillary hasn’t actually conceded yet.   Or really suspended her campaign.  Granted, her powerful surrogates are making noise about VP slots on the ticket (bad idea) and talking reconciliation, but no final definitive word that she wouldn’t try something on the floor of the convention.

Hurrah. 

Sadly, I wouldn’t put it past her to come up with some sort of reason not to really officially say that the race is over up until the convention. 

Got to love it.
